Praised as a ‘go-to’ chambers, One Essex Court has been increasingly active in patent-related disputes. Its members are also well versed in cases involving trademarks, copyright, and designs, as well as passing off and licensing disputes. The set is home to Geoffrey Hobbs KC, who is the current senior appointed person that hears appeals from the UK Registrar of Trade Marks. Of recent note, Hobbs represented one of the defendants in the case of Koninklijke Philips NV v Tinno Mobile Tech Corpn and others, in which the jurisdiction of the English court under Articles 29 and 30 of the Brussels I Regualtion was disputed, and French proceedings were preferred. Trademark and passing off expert Emma Himsworth KC is acting for the claimant in Virgin Enterprises Ltd v Brightline Holdings LLC, a case concerning a trade mark licence agreement which the defendants wish to terminate.
